# Chat

Chat supports direct and group communication through [ChatConversations](/api-reference/chat/chat-conversations.md), which contain [ChatMessages](/api-reference/chat/chat-messages.md).

[ChatUserConversationSettings](/api-reference/chat/chat-user-conversation-settings.md) store user-specific mute and archive settings, while [ChatConversationEvents](/api-reference/chat/chat-conversation-events.md) record changes to a conversation. [ChatMessageSeenUsers](/api-reference/chat/chat-message-seen-users.md) track which [Users](/api-reference/users.md) have seen a message.

Chat access combines the `chat-show` module permission with conversation [Targetables](/introduction/resource-capabilities/targetables.md). Conversations and messages do not use [Entity Permissions](/introduction/resource-capabilities/entity-permissions.md) for access.
